Cardiac reperfusion damage prevented by a nitroxide free radical.

Abstract: Experimental evidence is presented that directly links ischemia/reperfusion injury to the formation of oxygen-derived free radicals. 2,2,6,6-Tetramethylpiperidine-N-oxyl (TEMPO)-a stable nitroxide radical that disproportionates superoxide radicals and oxidizes reduced metal ions required for OH' formation-was tested for its ability to prevent reperfusion damage in the isolated rat heart subjected to regional ischemia. Severe reperfusion arrhythmiaventricular fibrillation and ventricular tachycardia-were promin… Show more

“…Another nitroxide, TEMPO, decreased arrhythmia following experimentally induced cardiac ischemia in rats [68]. This beneficial effect was also observed in a study of gerbils in which cerebral ischemia was induced by occluding the common carotid arteries bilaterally [69].…”

“…Note that the residual radicals (about 0.8 mM) were not filtered out of the hyperpolarized solution. TEMPO is however known to have low toxicity 49 and nitroxyl radicals are in fact used as in vivo antioxidants. [50][51][52] …”

“…TEMPO is employed extensively in cell and animal models; it has the advantages of being water-soluble, low-molecular weight, membrane-permeable, and commercially available. Studies have demonstrated the protective properties of TEMPO in various pathological situations, including radiation injury (Cuscela et al, 1996) and ischemia/reperfusion injury (Gelvan et al, 1991).…”
